Let’s put that huge and disgusting body of hers to good use, shall we???
Trevor Reed, an American citizen recently freed from a Russian prison, told CNN that WNBA star Brittney Griner will experience “serious threats” to her health if she is sent to a labor camp.
Driving the news: “Anyone who is in a forced labor camp in Russia is obviously, you know, facing serious threats to their health because of malnutrition,” he told CNN in an interview. “There’s little to no medical attention there whatsoever. ”
Reed said the disease tuberculosis “runs rampant in Russian prisons” and there are “diseases that they have there in Russia which are largely extinct in the United States now.”
Flashback: Reed, a Marine veteran who was freed through a prisoner exchange earlier this year, was held in a Russian prison for 985 days after being accused of assaulting a Russian law enforcement official, USA Today reports.
Reed was sentenced to nine years in a labor camp and developed health issues during his time there, including multiple cases of COVID-19. He previously described conditions at labor camps as “medieval,” per USA Today.
The big picture: Griner was found guilty on drug charges by a Russian court last week and sentenced to nine years in prison, Axios’ Ivana Saric reports.
The sentence comes almost six months after she was arrested at a Russian airport when authorities said they found a vape cartridge with hash oil in her luggage.
What’s next: Griner may appeal the decision, which means she’ll stay at a detention facility until it is completed, Reed told CNN. Otherwise, she will likely be sent to a labor camp.
In actual reality, Russia is not nearly as hardcore as it is made out to be.
There are prison work camps, but it’s not like some kind of World War II Holocaust movie. The point is more to justify the concept of imprisonment. This nigga is talking about the threat of feral cats. Okay. Well, don’t do the crime.
But the actual threat of like, getting some disease and dying or being cold at night or whatever – this is an exaggeration in the extreme, and it is definitely much better to be in a prison camp in Russia than to be in a normal prison in America.
That is to say: there are people who have been convicted for weed crimes in America who are worse off right now than this big bitch Griner.
